Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack
It's the same
New Washington
Red button
One push
And the whole world is gone
It's the same
I don't think that you should take the...
Strain
Live off your nerves
You've run out of verve
Take those pills
And you'll feel no ills
It's the same
I don't think that you should take the
Strain
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
Oh no...
Scream at nature to steal some papers
On with the camera to get the answers
Tipping the waiter to find who that was
Leaving the night
Go undercover now
The strain
Strain
Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack
It's the same
New Washington
A red button
One push
And the whole world is gone
It's the same
I don't think that you should take the
Strain
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
